Online teacher with 16-years of experience in IELTS, FCE, CAE, PET, KET, and Business. My name is Allan, an experienced English teacher specialising in grammar, pronunciation, speaking, and exam preparation. I help students build confidence, communicate clearly and achieve strong results. I have extensive experience preparing students for IELTS, CAE, FCE, PET and KET. My students consistently achieve high pass rates and improved band scores through my structured and practical approach. I also provide FREE MOCK TESTS, along with FREE BOOKS, LEARNING MATERIALS AND PROOFREADING. With over 16 years of online teaching experience, including 11 successful years on Italki and more than 16,00 lessons taught, I have supported learners from a wide range of backgrounds. I am a retired SIM Manager with professional certifications from CMI, ILM, and NEBSS, as well as a TEFL qualification. Every lesson is tailored to your goals and learning style. I support reading, writing and speaking, with a focus on natural, fluent English. I also offer Interview Preparation, Role-Play Practice and CV Support. My teaching style is clear, supportive and results-focused. We identify areas for improvement, set realistic goals, and follow a personalised plan. I provide regular feedback and track your progress carefully to ensure steady improvement and exam readiness. Outside of teaching, I am an active member of a running and swimming club. I also enjoy cycling when the weather is good, and I love travelling, often combining it with diving. I am also passionate about writing.

Teacher’s pick
Allan is a very reliable teacher. He kept the lesson engaging without any awkward silences and maintained active interaction with Wendy throughout. When Wendy struggled to answer questions, he would offer gentle prompts and supportive hints. When Wendy only gave partial answers, he patiently helped her complete and refine her responses. He is observant, encouraging and great with young kids. We really enjoyed the lesson.

Allan is a very kind and supportive teacher. The lesson was relaxed and enjoyable, and he gave me helpful advice on improving my IELTS speaking. He also shared a clear study plan after the class, which I really appreciate. I would definitely recommend him to anyone preparing for IELTS.

Allan is really a fantastic teacher that I hesitate to recommend him because I don’t want more students to fight to his schedule! Just kidding. XD Allan is the best teacher I have met. He offer guidance based on student’s status and ability. I feel like I’m pushed just enough, not too overwhelming yet giving me so much confidence and passion to keep studying.
